I recently sold what I thought was a perfectly running Beogram 4002 to someone and they sent it back because of some mysterious behavior.
1. Sometimes, when turning off, the carriage would move all the way to the right (as it should) but it would not turn off the motor.
2. Sometime it would turn off, but after sitting for a while, the motor would just start running on its own.
I have the turntable back now and guess what? I can't reproduce any of this.
Does anyone have an idea what might cause such an intermittent issue? I asked the buyer to clean the contacts on the switch (the one that the carriage trips when it slides all the right), but he claimed the issue persisted.
Switch seems to work fine and has the plastic nub on it that the carriage trips.
Any suggestions as to where to look for this gremlin would be appreciated!
